cognitive decline as well as for those who are faced with heavy cog-
nitive demands, such as college students It can help in Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by helping one pay attention,
sit still and process information.
Supportive Information:
Ginkgo is for cerebral vascular insufficiency and works by cerebral
and peripheral blood flow. As one gets older, blood flow to the brain
and to peripheral tissue decreases with these resulting symptoms.
Diminished cerebral circulation can also result in vertigo, ringing in
the ear, Alzheimer’s symptoms, forgetfulness and depression. Ginkgo
can help all of this. Ginkgo is famous in assisting memory, focus and
cognition.
Gotu Kola reduces adrenal corticosterone blood levels during
stress. It is high in flavonoids and studies show it helps in capillary
fragility and strengthens vascular integrity in the brain and through-
out the body. It is a cognitive stimulating herb for use in fatigue, con-
fusion and general lethargy. It is helpful for those exhausted from
emotional upheaval or excessive work habits.
Green Tea is a potent antioxidant that binds with free radicals to
neutralize their harmful effects. Green Tea is rich in polyphenols and
one in particular called a catechin. Catechins are 40 to 200 times
more effective in seeking out and destroying free radicals than
Vitamin A, C and E. Studies demonstrate the antioxidant effects of
green tea catechins improve overall reference and working-memory
related learning ability. Green Teas polyphenols are also believed to
help ward off neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and
Parkinson’s by protecting neurons against the harmful effects of
reative oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO).
Rhodiola stimulates the activity of serotonin, dopamine, and nore-
pineprhine in the cerebral cortex, brain stem and hypothalamus,
and increases the permeability of the blood brain barrier to precur-
sors of dopamine and serotonin. This enhances the effects of these
neurotansmitters on the brain and improves cognitive functions
(thinking, analyzing, evaluating, calculating and planning), learning,
attention span, memory and work productivity. Rhodiola also
relieves fatigue and normalizes mood in depressed individuals, and
has antioxidant properties that help protect the nervous system from
oxidative damage. By stimulating cognitive function, improving
resistance to stress and fighting free radicals, Rhodiola can have
immediate effects on cognitive function and memory and can also
provide long-term support to help preserve future brain functions.
Codonopsis is very similar to ginseng, but milder and more neutral
in energy. It increases stamina and alertness and keeps the body and
mind strong when under stress.
Licorice works as a limbic (emotional) brain tonic and tonifies the
stress axis (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal axis). Researchers have
found a compound in licorice known as carbenoxolone inhibits an
enzyme in the brain involved in making stress-related hormones
which have been associated with age related mental decline.
Phyto-Tech™ Brain Bio Boost Complex cannot be expected to
work overnight and is best if used consistently for at least 2 weeks. It
can be continued as a long-term tonic, especially in the elderly.
Dosage: 20-40 drops in juice or water, 2-3 times daily or as need-
ed
Cautions and Contrindications: While interaction unlikely, those
taking prescription blood thinners, or MAO inhibitors should advise
their physicians. Do not take during pregnancy, if nursing, or prepar-
ing for surgery. The amount of licorice in this formula is theorectical-
ly too low to affect blood pressure, but those with high blood pres-
sure should monitor their BP as a precaution.

California Poppy 1:3
California poppy has been used as a sedative to relieve insomnia
and nervousness.
In an article by Abascal K, Yarnell E., Nervine herbs for treating
anxiety (Altern Compliment Ther. 2004 December:309-315.), the
authors discussed California poppy. They first pointed out that “anxi-
ety disorders are common in many Western countries, and conven-
tional drugs like benzodiazepines are often prescribed to relieve anx-
iety. However, these drugs have worrisome short-term and long-term
side effects. Nervine herbs (herbs that quiet nervous excitement)
have a long history of traditional use in relieving anxiety, insomnia,
and mild depression. With the exception of St. John's wort
(Hypericum perforatum), kava (Piper methysticum), and valerian
(Valeriana officinalis), there is little published research on the safety
and efficacy of nervine herbs. The purpose of this article was to
review the available research and explain how the lesser-known
nervine herbs are commonly used in practice.” One of those “lesser-
known nervine herbs” was California poppy. They made the follow-
ing observation: “California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is used
for its mild analgesic and calming effects. Unlike the opium poppy
(Papaver somniferum), it has no narcotic effects. Animal studies indi-
cate California poppy tea reduces anxiety, acts as a mild analgesic,
and helps prevent drug-induced memory loss. Most herbal practi-
tioners combine lower doses of California poppy with other nervines
to relieve anxiety. Researchers studied a combination of California
poppy, hawthorn flower (Crataegus laevigata), and magnesium in
264 people with mild to moderate anxiety. Those taking the herb

Nutrients lower knee pain,
boost muscle function
Vitamin D in osteoarthritis
Vitamin D helps keep bones strong and
reduces inflammation, two factors in reduc-
ing osteoarthritis. In this study, doctors ana-
lyzed a racially diverse group of 256 women
and men, average age 57, with osteoarthritis
of the knee.
About half the participants were obese,
and among these, 54 percent were deficient
in vitamin D. Among non-obese participants,
22 percent were deficient in vitamin D.
Overall, those with adequate levels of vita-
min D reported less knee pain than those
with low or deficient levels, regardless of
weight. Among those who were obese, men
and women with adequate or better vitamin
D levels had better physical performance.

Fish oil increased muscle mass,
strength
Muscle mass and strength decline with age,
increasing chances for health problems. In
this study, 60 healthy older men and women
took 1,860 mg of the omega-3 EPA plus
1,500 mg of the omega-3 DHA from fish oil
per day, or a placebo.
After six months, while the placebo group
had not improved in any measure, those tak-
ing fish oil had 3.6 percent greater thigh-
muscle volume, an increase of more than five
pounds in handgrip strength, and a 4 percent
increase in the maximum amount of weight
they could lift in one repetition. Overall,
muscle power had increased by 5.6 percent
for the fish oil group.
Discussing the findings, doctors said
omega-3 fish oils may improve muscle size
and function by increasing the rate at which
the body is able to synthesize muscle pro-
teins, helping maintain muscle function in
older adults.
